Hello all,

I recently got a few of the black Tangodown ARC mags and put them through some firing tests. They drop free, full 30 rd capacity, just as advertised. They rock.

The one thing about it, is that they wobble and wiggle quite a bit in the magwell, just like a regular GI M4 stock in the buffer tube. I think it's because the civilian version doesn't have the sandseal in the joint connecting the two halves, which would explain the slop.

What's the best way to reduce the wiggle on these mags? I was thinking putting some electrical tape around the joint to make it tighter.

I bought 3 of these mags and gave one to a friend. Of the two I kept one works and one does not. I am not happy with this magazine.

what's the issue with magazine wiggle as long as they function reliably?
my USGI mags wobble more than ARC or PMAGs, but i don't find that bothersome. it gives me comfort they'll drop free when i press that button :)
